functionSPACE discloses $1.7m pre-seed for numerical prediction markets
The financing closed in late 2025. Its public disclosure follows three tests of a market design that lets different bets share one pool of liquidity.
Prediction markets commonly turn a question into a yes-or-no contract. functionSPACE is developing a different format: one market spans a numerical range, and participants choose a threshold, an interval or a custom payoff. A forecast of an economic release or a sports score can therefore support several trading positions against the same liquidity pool, with settlement tied to a verifiable data source.
The company has tested the mechanism in three public campaigns, including a free-to-play football fantasy application. Those markets ran with play money on an off-chain engine; its on-chain contracts remain a proof of concept. The September announcement disclosed a round closed in late 2025, co-led by Maven 11 and Blockwall with SMAPE Capital participating. Developer access and the cultureSPACE application are offered through waitlists.
